Taken a while to get this painted and decals on, mainly because of all the work on the victor, but i have finally got there. I used Xtracolor Camoflage grey and then added some medium sea grey for the nose, top of the tail and the leading adges to the tail and forward stabilizer's.

I know the exhausts should be open when its on the ground, but the only place that had the open ones was a site in Germany and they wanted £20 just for postage. these cost less than 20 with postage from Poland. I don't normally skimp when i need something for a kit but that was just to much.

And then the decals went on. The left side serial broke up completly. I was able to use the first 3 digits from the serial for the other marking option, but i had no numbers in the right size for the rest so i painted on the 2 and 1.

Next i'll give it a gloss coat to seal the decals before some light weathering. In the meantime i can get the decals on the Victor.

Shame about the serial breaking but you did a fine job painting them in - it's looking excellent Bish!

Thanks guys. I think the decals reacted to the Microset. I had close calls with a few others.

Looking very sharp Bish. I’m surprised that the RAF has not gone to toned down or grayed out squadron markings to match the low vis roundels and scheme.
